Patent number: 7139827Abstract: Method and system for reporting to a source user before communication begins communication means usable by both the source and a destination user. Operable communication means at each user's information terminal are stored in a list DB 2 in advance for each user. A selection device 1 receives a destination user designation from the source user who is requesting communication, and acquires the usable communication means of the destination user and the source user respectively from the list DB 2. There are also cases in which the selection device 1 acquires communication means usable by the source user from the selection device 1 or a user terminal 4. Next, the selection device 1 creates a candidate list describing communication means which both parties can use, and sends it from a WWW server, for example, to the source user terminal. Before communication begins, the candidate list is displayed at the source user terminal by a WWW browser, for example.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2000Date of Patent: November 21, 2006Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Noboru Iwayama, Hiroyasu Sugano, Naohisa Kawaguchi, Koji Otani, Akinori Iwakawa

Patent number: 7032436Abstract: The output level of vibration of a portion below the spring of a vehicle detected by a sensor, and its frequency is converted to obtain the frequency spectrum of the vibration level. Next, an operation is carried out on at least two vibration levels, at different frequency bands. The computed value is compared with a master curve showing the frequency spectrum of vibration level stored in vibration level storage to estimate the condition of a road surface so as to estimate the running state of the vehicle. Further, the running state of each tire including air pressure is detected from the vibration level of the portion below the spring to estimate the running state of the vehicle. Thereby, a multi-function sensing system is constructed for estimating the condition of a road surface or the running state of the tire with one sensor.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2001Date of Patent: April 25, 2006Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha BridgestoneInventors: Hidetoshi Yokota, Hiroshi Morinaga, Koji Otani

Patent number: 7006357Abstract: A shielding case for an electronic apparatus is provided. The shielding case houses a printed circuit board on which an electronic component and an output connector are mounted. The shielding case defines a recessed portion by its case wall. The recessed portion is provided with an opening located in a lateral direction from the mounting position of the output connector. The recessed portion is provided with an opening located in an upward direction from the mounting position of the output connector. The shielding case allows insertion of a cable either from above or sideways relative to the connector. Further, an aperture is provided in the case wall. The aperture is at a position that faces a side surface of the output connector when the connector is in the mounting position. It becomes possible to selectively employ one of a horizontal-insertion type output connector and a vertical-insertion type output connector.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2003Date of Patent: February 28, 2006Assignee: Mitsumi Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Koji Otani, Yutaka Tanaka

Patent number: 6977822Abstract: The position of a connector 36 in the forward direction (Ya direction) is determined by having front end surfaces 36f1, 36g1 of protrusions 36f, 36g of the connector that protrude from the left side surface and the right side surface of the connector, respectively, contacting vertical wall portions 72a1, 74a1 of positioning concave portions 72a, 74a of supporting plates 72, 74 of a housing of the shield case. The position of the connector in the backward direction (Yb direction) is determined by having a back surface 36h of the connector 36 contacting a protrusion 70a of a dividing plate 70. The motion of the connector in the right-and-left directions (Xa-Xb directions) is controlled by having the left side surface and the right side surface of the connector facing the supporting plates, respectively, in close proximity.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2003Date of Patent: December 20, 2005Assignee: Mitsumi Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Koji Otani, Yutaka Tanaka
